About the Course

Recommended for:

Integrating Learning with Business Needs is a 1-day course recommended for L&D specialists, HR and OD practitioners involved in managing organisational learning, and line managers who are responsible for integrating learning with their business needs.

Course overview:

One of the biggest challenges you will face in L&D is establishing a clear relationship between learning, the experiences that support it, the resources it needs, and the work-related, and organisational, objectives to which the learning will contribute. This course will enable you to tap into individuals’ motivation to learn; and build commitment to learning; providing a range of learning solutions that stretch and develop individuals – thus enhancing organisational effectiveness.

Course benefits:

After the Integrating Learning with Business Needs course, you’ll be able to establish key drivers for different types of learning needs, and identify the relationship of different learning needs to the achievement of organisational goals and describe methods/frameworks for directly integrating learning and
performance at work.
